Genes affected
CYP27A1 (HGNC:2605): (cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily A member 1) This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This mitochondrial protein oxidizes cholesterol intermediates as part of the bile synthesis pathway. Since the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids is the major route for removing cholesterol from the body, this protein is important for overall cholesterol homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Cholestanol storage disease Pathogenic:11
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 18, 2024This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 6 of the CYP27A1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs587778777, gnomAD 0.07%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 9392430, 21645175, 28894950). This variant is also known as In6+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65833). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of 89 nucleotides of exon 6 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 9392430). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The splice donor variant c.1184+1G>A in CYP27A1 (NM_000784.4) has been previously reported in affected individuals (Verrips et al, 2000; Lee et al., 2001). Functional studies of this variant demonstrated a detrimental effect(Garuti et al., 1997). The variant affects an invariant splice nucleotide.Loss of function variants have ben reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Oct 20, 2021NM_000784.3(CYP27A1):c.1184+1G>A is a canonical splice variant classified as pathogenic in the context of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. c.1184+1G>A has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 22878431). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 9392430). c.1184+1G>A has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: SAS 0.07%). In summary, NM_000784.3(CYP27A1):c.1184+1G>A is a canonical splice variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 13, 2022Variant summary: CYP27A1 c.1184+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes the canonical 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing by skipping of exon 7 and joining exon 6 to exon 8 that translates to a sequence of 28 novel amino acids preceding a termination codon (Garuti_1996). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00016 in 251280 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in CYP27A1 causing Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (0.00016 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1184+1G>A has been reported in the literature as homozygous and compound heterozygous genotypes in multiple individuals affected with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (example, Garuti_1996, Gianneschi_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 28, 2022The c.1184+1G>A intronic alteration consists of a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 6 of the CYP27A1 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice donor site are typically deleterious in nature (Richards, 2015). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.02% (46/282682) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.07% (22/30614) of South Asian alleles. This alteration has been detected in the homozygous state and in trans with other disease-causing CYP27A1 alterations in multiple unrelated individuals diagnosed with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (Stelten, 2018; Lipiski, 2020; Lipiski, 2020; Rashvand, 2021; Ginanneschi, 2013; Lee, 2001). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Experimental studies show this alteration results in abnormal splicing and introduces a frameshift (Garuti, 1997). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
